[David Stormrage]

Concerning the third party chat programs,
I think they should not be used because of many reasons,
1. Unfair advantage over others. It's much harder for people who can not talk in real time to each other and must take their hands off the controls to type.
2. Filter. Disney has a chat filter but voice programs do not. You can say anything you want in one of those and there are people who are not adults like me that play this game.
3. I know someone went over these already but I am trying to accentuate the point.

Please do not use third party chat programs it makes it harder for others.

Wow
People don't you think this is getting way out of hand and way too serious? This is just a game we are talking about here. Not life and death. Look as I stated before ... the guilds that use team speak will continue to do so.

Period.

There is no way you or Disney can stop them. Yes it would be nice if everyone was on the same playing field, but lets face it ... that is a dream and not reality. Not in games nor in real life. There are always the haves and have nots. Me personally I do not care whether they use it or not. I can sink them just as easily as non voice chatters. I only care about the game TOS rules and that all pirates play fair. Yes you cannot mention team speak, xfire or what ever Voice chat you are using in the game. The reason is to protect the kids on the game and your privacy. If you mention it or try to give that information to another player while in game you run the risk of being banned. So be forewarned on that.

If you choose to use it that is your personal choice. I will not ever use it. I think personally that it is an advantage over others. And this isn't just because I don't use it. I am thinking of those who can't use the program for issues of a personal nature like the financial cost, computer connections, hearing impaired or even people with speech handicaps. So since we all agree that people will use it can we just move on... the original issue was I believe the crewing problem in a svs contest.

Now I have a Solution ---

to the debate of the Tuesday crewing problem ....

1. Let the captains crew their crew...
2. Have the captains FRIEND the observers/judges so they can tp to the ships
3. Give the instructions to EVERYONE present..
4. Have an observer/judge for each side
5. Crew the Observers/judge together and they can relay info to EVERYONE via privateer chat

on point 3 I think it would be better to tell everyone the rules... I had 4 peeps whispering me wanting to know what was going on while the rules were given and ships assigned -- that made it extremely difficult for me to follow what was being said in crew, between the whispers and beach chatter the chat scrolled too fast. Now you will have people spamming the beach rule chat -- Solution -- if they speak before the rules are completely given out --- disqualify them from the competition. Also after the rules are delivered allow a question and answer period for clarification purposes.

simple eh?

AT last some one not caught up in the fear of the violation trap to offer a real solution to the event issue.
TY Dhestroyer and thankyou for keeping with the thread throughout.
